com Leaks European Price and Date?
>> From computerandvideogames.com: [QUOTE] The first indication of what Microsoft’s price and delivery strategy for Europe appears to have been unveiled on online e-tailer Play.com. In the first online product listing for the Xbox 360, Play.com states that the unit will set you back a quite staggering 399 and be available from November 29 of this year. [/QUOTE] 399GBP (~590 EUR) sounds a bit high and I doubt Microsoft wants to do the same mistake again as with the Euro Xbox launch (Launched at 479EUR in Europe compared to only 299USD in North-America. In europe a huge drop in price to 299EUR followed only weeks later due very low sales). J. Allard said the Xbox 360 would launch around 300USD (which is only about 245EUR or 165GBP) in North-America so 590EUR for Europe would be a bit extreme. As Microsoft certainly didn’t decide the final retail price … play.com probably lists it at 399GBP as max. price for the pre-orders. The date on the other hand is more probable.
